How do you mean

"But when I run it from Debug\Release\PDA.exe"

Running it on the desktop?

If you are using any CF specific API's, then it will not run on the desktop.

The message appears to be hinting that you are trying to add something like a form to a panel

Try stepping through the code, and see where the error happens, or put a 'Try Catch' in your form_load

I used your idea and got the error line but still I have the problem.I used a module where generaly declare this line :
.parent=frmmdimain
frmmdimain is my main form.I used CF 2.0 SP2.

Public Sub SetFormSize(ByRef frm As Form, ByVal mdiTopRows As Integer, ByVal mdiBottomRows As Integer)

With frm
.Parent = frmMdiMain
.Top = frmMdiMain.Top + frmMdiMain.FGtop.Height
.Left = frmMdiMain.Left
.Width = frmMdiMain.Width
.Height = frmMdiMain.Height - (frmMdiMain.FGtop.Height + frmMdiMain.fgBottom.Height)
End With
End Sub

I call it in every form and set
me.parent=frmMdiMain

That would appear to be your problem then.

You certainly can't have MDI forms in CF.

Declare a main form, and open it. Then do a showdialog() on the other forms, or a show() to show them

I gave you the solution.

Have a main form as your startup.

Then do
dim frmChildx as new frmChild1
frmChildx.showdialog()
frmChildx.dispose

or
dim frmChildx as new frmChild1
frmChildx.show()

and then dispose when you have finished with it.

.Net CF doesn't support mdi forms

Sorry - don't see your problem.

Start a new project, and then add a new form - that should give you form1 and form2

On form1 put a button with a caption of 'Show', on form2 put a button with a caption of 'Close'

Code behind the button on form1 is

Dim frm1 as new form1
frm1.showdialog()
frm1.dispose

Code behind button on form2

me.close

When you run the project, and click on the button, form2 should show. When you click on 'close' on form 2, you should see form1.

As I said right at the beginning, the concept of MDI forms does not exist in the CF, so no you can't
